Synthesis, preliminary bioevaluation and computational analysis of caffeic acid analogues.

ABSTRACT: A series of caffeic acid amides were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity. Most of them exhibited promising anti-inflammatory activity against nitric oxide (NO) generation in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. A 3D pharmacophore model was created based on the biological results for further structural optimization. Moreover, predication of the potential targets was also carried out by the PharmMapper server. These amide analogues represent a promising class of anti-inflammatory scaffold for further exploration and target identification.

Venlafaxine Caffeic Acid Salt: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Hypoglycemic Effect Analysis.

Project description:Depression is a recurrent and chronic mental disorder requiring long-term treatment. Major depressive disorder is present in 15-20% of patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Large-scale evidence revealed that depression and depressive symptoms are independent risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes, and they may contribute to hyperglycemia and even accelerate the premature onset of diabetes complications. Venlafaxine is a clinical first-line antidepressant used for more than 30 years. Recently, clinical reports showed that venlafaxine overdose might cause hypoglycemia. Venlafaxine is insoluble and salt formation technology is the most appropriate method to improve the physicochemical properties and the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug. In the present work, the use of the solvent evaporation method, slurry, and the liquid-assisted grinding method resulted in the crystalline salt venlafaxine-caffeic acid (1:1). The compounds were characterized using a series of solid-state techniques, viz., powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and the crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Besides, a comparative study of solubility, dissolution, and hypoglycemic activity of the parent drug and the new salt has been carried out. The tested venlafaxine-caffeic acid salt showed about 16-fold higher solubility than the pure drug. Moreover, the glucose consumption assay results showed that the novel salt possesses potent hypoglycemic activity in vitro, suggesting that it is a promising candidate effective for major depressive disorder patients with type 2 diabetes.

Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity of Caffeic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:A series of caffeic acid derivatives were synthesized via a modified Wittig reaction which is a very important tool in organic chemistry for the construction of unsaturated carbon⁻carbon bonds. All reactions were performed in water medium at 90 °C. The aqueous Wittig reaction worked best when one unprotected hydroxyl group was present in the phenyl ring. The olefinations in the aqueous conditions were also conducted with good yields in the presence of two unprotected hydroxyl groups. When the number of the hydroxyl groups was increased to three, the reaction yields were worse, and the derivatives 12, 13, and 18 were obtained with 74%, 37%, and 70% yields, respectively. Nevertheless, the Wittig reaction using water as the essential medium is an elegant one-pot synthesis and a greener method, which can be a safe alternative for implementation in organic chemistry. The obtained compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity, and 12, 13, and 18 showed the highest activities. Moreover, all synthesized compounds displayed no cytotoxicity, and can therefore be used in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry.

Computational Analysis of Naturally Occurring Aristolochic Acid Analogues and Their Biological Sources.

Project description:Aristolochic acids are known for nephrotoxicity, and implicated in multiple cancer types such as hepatocellular carcinomas demonstrated by recent studies. Natural products that are analogues to aristolochic acids have been constantly isolated from organisms; a larger chemical space of these compounds and a wider coverage of biological sources should be determined in consideration of the potential hazard of aristolochic acid analogues and the wide distribution of their biological sources in the nature. Therefore, we carried out an in silico research of naturally occurring aristolochic acid analogues and their biological sources, as a supplement to existing studies. The result shows a chemical space of 238 naturally occurring aristolochic acid analogues that are present in 175 species of biological sources including 44 traditional medicines. With the computational estimation for toxicity and the implication in hazard assessment of a biological source with the presence of aristolochic acid analogues, we propose that additional awareness should be raised to the public for avoidance of toxic species, especially those that are used as herbal medicines and easily accessible.

The caffeic acid moiety plays an essential role in attenuating lipid accumulation by chlorogenic acid and its analogues.

Project description:Chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic, CA) possesses distinct hypolipidemic properties in vivo and in vitro, yet the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of CA on lipid metabolism remains unknown. To achieve this aim, we designed and synthesized two sets of CA analogues and evaluated their efficacies to prevent oleic acid (OA)-elicited lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. Blockage of all hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the quinic acid moiety did not deteriorate the hypolipidemic effect of CA while blockage of all phenolic hydroxyl groups on the caffeic acid moiety abolished the activity of CA. Further replacement of the quinic acid moiety with cyclohexane and modification of individual phenolic hydroxyl groups on the caffeic acid moiety showed that the phenolic-hydroxyl-reserved analogues displayed a more potent hypolipidemic effect than CA, whereas the analogue with no phenolic hydroxyl displayed little effect on the OA-elicited lipid accumulation. In accordance, the modulating effects of CA on the transcription of the lipogenic gene sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)1c/1a, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) were also abolished when the phenolic hydroxyl groups on the caffeic acid moiety were blocked. Our results suggest that the phenolic hydroxyl on the caffeic acid moiety is vital for the lipid-lowering activity of CA.

Synthesis and biological properties of caffeic acid-PNA dimers containing guanine.

Project description:Caffeic acid (CA; 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is endowed with high antioxidant activity. CA derivatives (such as amides) have gained a lot of attention due to their antioxidative, antitumor and antimicrobial properties as well as stable characteristics. Caffeoyl-peptide derivatives showed different antioxidant activity depending on the type and the sequence of amino acid used. For these reasons, we decided to combine CA with Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) to test whether the new PNA-CA amide derivatives would result in an improvement or gain of CA's biological (i.e., antioxidant, cytotoxic, cytoprotective) properties. We performed the synthesis and characterization of seven dimer conjugates with various combinations of nucleic acid bases and focused NMR studies on the model compound ga-CA dimer. We demonstrate that PNA dimers containing guanine conjugated to CA exhibited different biological activities depending on composition and sequence of the nucleobases. The dimer ag-CA protected HepG2, SK-B-NE(2), and C6 cells from a cytotoxic dose of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of Novel Caffeic Acid Derivatives as Potential Antimalarials.

Project description:New protocol for the preparation of the novel caffeic acid derivatives using the Wittig reaction has been applied to follow the principles of green chemistry. The compounds have been evaluated against chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum strains. Their cytotoxicity to normal human dermal fibroblasts and their propensity to induce hemolysis have been also determined. Ethyl (2E)-3-(2,3,4-trihydroxyphenyl)-2-methylpropenoate has exhibited the highest antiplasmodial activity against P. falciparum strains without the cytotoxic and hemolytic effects. This derivative is significantly more potent than caffeic acid parent structure. The application of our one-step procedure has been shown to be rapid and efficient. It allows for an easy increase of input data to refine the structure-activity relationship model of caffeates as the antimalarials. The one-step approach meets the conditions of "atom economy" and eliminates hazardous materials. Water has been used as the effective medium for the Wittig reaction to avoid toxic organic solvents.

Synthesis and bioevaluation of new tacrine-cinnamic acid hybrids as cholinesterase inhibitors against Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Small molecule cholinesterases inhibitor (ChEI) provides an effective therapeutic strategy to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently, the discovery of new ChEI with multi-target effect is still of great importance. Herein, we report the synthesis, structure-activity relationship study and biological evaluation of a series of tacrine-cinnamic acid hybrids as new ChEIs. All target compounds are evaluated for their in vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activities. The representatives which show potent activity on cholinesterase, are evaluated for the amyloid β-protein self-aggregation inhibition and in vivo assays. The optimal compound 19, 27, and 30 (human AChE IC50 = 10.2 ± 1.2, 16.5 ± 1.7, and 15.3 ± 1.8 nM, respectively) show good performance in ameliorating the scopolamine-induced cognition impairment and preliminary safety in hepatotoxicity evaluation. These compounds deserve further evaluation for the development of new therapeutic agents against AD.

Design, Synthesis, and Bioevaluation of Dexmedetomidine Prodrug.

Project description:Dexmedetomidine is commonly used in clinical practice as an anesthetic adjuvant and sedative. Unfortunately, major side effects include significant blood pressure fluctuation and bradycardia. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of four series of dexmedetomidine prodrugs aimed to alleviate hemodynamic fluctuations and simplify the administration procedure. From the in vivo experiments, all the prodrugs took effect within 5 min and did not cause significant recovery delay. The increase in blood pressure generated by one bolus of most of the prodrugs (14.57%-26.80%) was similar to that resulting from a 10 min infusion of dexmedetomidine (15.54%), which is significantly lower than the effect from a single dose of dexmedetomidine (43.55%). The decrease in heart rate induced by some prodrugs (-22.88% to -31.10%) was significantly alleviated compared with dexmedetomidine infusion (-41.07%). Overall, our work demonstrates that the prodrug strategy is useful to simplify administration procedures and mitigate hemodynamic fluctuations induced by dexmedetomidine.

Synthesis and biological activity of arylspiroborate salts derived from caffeic Acid phenethyl ester.

Project description:Two novel boron compounds containing caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) derivatives have been prepared and characterized fully. These new compounds and CAPE have been investigated for potential antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and their ability to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and whether chelation to boron improves their biological activity. Sodium salt 4 was generally more active than ammonium salt 5 in the biological assays and surpassed the radical scavenging ability of CAPE. Compounds 4 and 5 were more active than CAPE and Zileuton in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. These results clearly show the effectiveness of the synthesized salts as transporter of CAPE.

Concise synthesis of ether analogues of lysobisphosphatidic acid.

Project description:We describe a versatile, efficient method for the preparation of ether analogues of (S,S)-lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) and its enantiomer from (S)-solketal. Phosphorylation of a protected sn-2-O-octadecenyl glyceryl ether with 2-cyanoethyl bis-N,N-diisopropylamino phosphine and subsequent deprotection generated the bisether LBPA analogues. By simply changing the sequence of deprotection steps, we obtained the (R,R)- and (S,S)-enantiomers of 2,2'-bisether LBPA. An ELISA assay with anti-LBPA monoclonal antibodies showed that the bisether LBPAs were recognized with the same affinity as the natural 2,2'-bisoleolyl LBPA. [reaction: see text]
